A Stroll along the Malecon

12-16-12:  Sunday was the day Ed started work on the engine.  There was nothing I could help with so I took a stroll along the Malecon (like a board walk) along the waterfront of the city.  Beautiful artwork located in the nooks and crannies throughout.  Unfortunately a lot of it is falling to ruin.  There are concerns here, as there have been in every city in America, of conglomerates and/or large companies building at the north end of the city (Walmart, Home Depot, Mega (grocery store similar to Fred Meyer,) which are already here and more on the way like Costco) taking away from the mom and pop shops downtown, bringing urban decay.  I suppose its inevitable, trying to make every nickle count, regardless of who or where one lives.

Guess who's sponsoring this tree!

Whaleshark made completely of plastic bottles-
mostly from the sponsor of that Christmas tree!

Over there, just below the largest land hump,
is where we're docked.

I just love the fluidity of this statue.
